lar places, where sugar is dipped from a common container.

Still another object is to avoid waste which is very common inconnection with the use of the ordinary sugar bowl or other dispensingdevices.

Still other objects will be Vdescribed in the specification anddrawings.

` Referring to the drawings:

proper.

Figure 2 is a vertical section showing dispensing apparatus.

Figure t3 is a section ofthe dispensing apparatus removed from themachine proper, and

the

paratus shown in Figure 3. l

In the drawings like parts are designated by similar numerals.

Numeral 1 designates a vending machine proper with glass panels 2,legsupports 2l,

6 separates the interior yof the machine into compartments 7. Inthefloor 8 oi the respective compartments are ports shown at 9, a plunger10 having a shield plate 11 with downturned end flanges mounted thereonand an open-endedreceptacle 12, lixedly attached to the plunger 1()beneath anopening in Vthe shield platek 11. The' inner end of plunger10Sis slidably supported by bracket 13 and between the bracket 13 andtheinner flange ot' the shield 11" is a coil spring 1-'1 mounted on the`plunger 10. Pielow s and ,spaced troni lthe floorot the compartments i7 is a second floor 15V in which are portsl and 17 in front and in rearof port 9. VGonnecting with port 16 is a chute 18l which empj ties inturn into a .chiite 4 connecting with i port 17.v f f `Asactually" used,the compartments 7 will be filled with sugar or like material, the sugar`will filter thru port 9 into receptacle 12, A person desiring sugarwill push'in on plunger Figure 4 is a bottoni perspective of the ap-f Ythe preterred torni, it is to be understood 10,y which in turn willcompress the spring 14 and at the Sametime move receptacle 12 over port17. Then the containerreaclies this point `the sugar in thecontainei'will seeking the sugar will obtain the pre-deter# mined amount. Upon therelease of plunger 10 the spring 14 which has been compressed, willtorce the container back into its initia position directly below port 9and at the same time will force any sugar which may have .filtered thruport 9 through the port 16 and into chiite 18 and in tiirn to chute 4 sothat none ot' the sugar is lost or will collect between the floors 8 and15.

Then the plunger 10 ispushed forward or inwardlyand the receptacle movedfrom beneath the port 9, the shield 11 will move forward and close theport- 9 and thus cut oli the flow ot'rsingar.` The same operation isrepeated when sugar is desired from the other compartment. l

lIt is to be understood that this machine may be used 'for otherarticles than sugar, and `while I have described my invention in thatvarious n'ioditications may be made wit-hkempty into chute L1 trom whichthe person in the limits oi" description aiidthat the parts may bevaried in proportion and arrange;- nient as sh ll be determined thefollowing claim.

` l I-Iaving thus 'described my invention, what I claim is:

A sheet ii'ietal dispensing machine coinprising a container having abottom provided -with a discharge opening, a floor arranged `ister with`the iiist named opening and one of the second named openings only,yielding 4means tor holding saidv plunger with its'casby thescope of ingnormally in registry with the first named i opening, the rear edge otsaid casing contacting with said door daring movement of the plunger tonormal position to scrape excess materialirom said floor into the otherot said dispensing openings.

In testimony whereof I atix my signature.
